Aiden Markam, the Proteas captain, won the toss and decided to bowl first. But Samson had other ideas as the Kerala-born batter launched a series of attacks on the home bowlers that included nine maximums.
South Africa had no answer to Samson's attack as the visitors posted a mammoth 202/8 in 20 overs. In reply, the Proteas could only muster 141 with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi sharing three wickets each.
The second T20I now moves to St George's Park, Gqeberha on Sunday, November 10.
